Halloween

Dead Kennedys

So it's Halloween

And you feel like dancin'

And you feel like shinin'

And you feel like letting loose



Whatcha gonna be

Babe, you better know

And you better plan

Better plan all day



Better plan all week

Better plan all month

Better plan all year



You're dressed up like a clown

Putting on your act

It's the only time all year

You'll ever admit that



I can see your eyes

I can see your brain

Baby, nothing's changed

[repeat]



You're still hiding in a mask

You take your fun seriously

No, don't blow this year's chance

Tomorrow your mold goes back on



After Halloween



You go to work today

You'll go to work tomorrow

Shitfaced tonight

You'll brag about it for months



Remember what I did

Remember what I was

Back on Halloween



But what's in between

Where are your ideas

You sit around and dream

For next Halloween



Why not everyday

Are you so afraid

What will people say

[repeat]



After Halloween



Because your role is planned for you

There's nothing you can do

But stop and think it through

But what will the boss say to you



And what will your girlfriend say to you

And the people out on the street they might glare at you

And whadya know you're pretty self-conscious too



So you run back and stuff yourselves in rigid business costumes

Only at night to score is your leather uniform exhumed

Why don't you take your social regulations

And shove 'em up your ass
